Geocache Description:

Welcome to our Geocaching version of the Winery Walkabout. Rutherglen is renowned for its viticulture and many of the Wineries highlighted in this series have achieved awards for their wines and fortifieds. We have not been able to include all wineries in this series but you should see some of those excluded during your travels.

GEHRIG ESTATE WINES


The oldest winery in Victoria was established in 1858 and purchased by George Phillip Gehrig in 1867, the homestead 'Barnawartha House' featuring a two storey Bell Tower that was built in 1870 from bricks fired on the property.



NOTE: Best to avoid this on the Queens Birthday long weekend when the Winery Walkabout proper occurs.



This cache series has been placed to highlight a number of the regions wineries and we have endeavoured, where possible, to locate the hides close to the wineries. We have also tried to avoid busy roads but PLEASE park responsibly to ensure eager children (and adults?) don’t need to cross the road. Although you will be travelling on some dirt roads these can be accessed by 2WD in wet weather – we tested out the NinjaGolf to ensure this was possible.



Cache is an ammo container so large enough for a variety of swaps.



Please enjoy and remember “Don’t drink and drive!”
